What to do when you have a NO SIGNAL message

First step is what not to do; Do not retune your TV

On the Sunshine Coast we have multiple transmitters and these all have different frequencies. Retuning your TV at the wrong time can either delete all the channels, or ‘retune’ your TV to the wrong frequencies.

Instead the best thing to do is to check the Facebook page by clicking here. Find out if it’s a transmitter issue (is its worth just waiting until they repair the transmitter?). And like the page so you get notifications next time.

Call for advice (have some answers ready for our staff):

  • When did the problem start? (This morning, in the last couple of days, or last week?)
  • Is it happening on one TV only, or all TVs?
  • When was the last time the antenna was looked at?

This will help our team know the best way to help. Call 1800 588 688.

Known Issues

Pt Arkright Transmitter Down July 3rd 2024

As of July 2nd, the Pt Arkwright Transmitter is down. Houses connected to this transmitter may experience issues with their TV reception and likely seeing televisions that are showing “NO SIGNAL – CHECK YOUR ANTENNA CABLE”.

We urge everyone to be patient and wait for the transmitter to come back online. Please do not retune your TV during this downtime, as this can cause further issues.

The channels will come back online by themselves once the issues are resolved. If you’re still experiencing problems after the weekend, please contact Brocky’s TV to assist onsite.
Areas affected: Buderim, Kuluin, Bli Bli, Coolum, Peregian, Marochydore and Maroochy River.

The transmitter has lost signal completely today (1/9/2021), and some viewers have been experiencing severe pixelation and no signal. Do not retune the TV. Contact us if issues are still present in 48 hours.

Pt Arkright Transmitter Down Oct 2021

The Pt Arkwright Transmitter has been experiencing issues through August to October and these are still ongoing. We’ve contacted Australian Communication and Media Authorities (ACMA) on this and they have rebooted the system and all seems to be working okay again now.

“It appears a power surge was to blame (for the latest issue) and the broadcasters are now planning to install 24/7 telemetry to the site so they can monitor this (in real time).” -ACMA
